Example of type-checking:

Type TMesh
   Method Morph();...;end method
End Type

Type TLight
   Method Shine();...;end method
End Type

global entity:TMesh=new TMesh

if TLight(entity) then TLight(entity).Shine() else TMesh(entity).Morph()

I see no usage for string-pointers in Bmax except you're talking to C/C++ code. So I can't imagine an example that makes sense. But maybe others can...

However, if I remember right you can create a pointer to a string using

global s$="a string"
global sptr:Byte ptr=s[0]
